It was a parched and desolate land, lifeless, with only low hills and weather-beaten, barren fields.

Caesar galloped low over, his huge wingspan whistling with a hurricane, stirring up the desert sand, and setting off a storm of dust everywhere he passed.

Time was pressing, not only did he need to find the location in Sifu's guidance, but he also needed to explore it as soon as possible, there were no wells or sweet springs in the Gobi Desert, only shallow pools of bitter water exposed to the scorching sun, and the deeper he went into the location indicated on the map, the fewer and fewer water sources he found, and the distance between the pools became longer and rarer.

Food and water are a big problem for any living thing, especially in the scorching heat and barren Gobi Desert.

The next pool of bitter water they found was hot and filled with the stench of sulfur, but the orcs and gnolls had no choice but to find a container to hold the water and drink it when it cooled down.

Caesar didn't mind this, this guy's stomach was like a furnace of everything, it could digest everything it ate, and if there was really no food, this guy couldn't starve to death just by eating dirt.

But his dependents were not necessarily, and without food supplements, the already weak gnolls began to whimper and die, and then were eaten by their kindred, and the orcs were slightly more resistant, but in just as bad condition.

Fortunately, when darkness obscured the sky, they rushed to a cracked loess plain, where they saw a city rising abruptly.

"Your Majesty."

The gnoll Hogg shouted, this guy had just eaten half of his kind, but his expression was very natural, he didn't feel anything strange at all, and he was full of anger: "It's that city." ”

The black dragon ignored him, flapped his wings and quickly approached, reaching the ruins.

The brick walls that blend in with the desert are full of cracks, and some of the walls are topped with dragon-repellent thorns, but most of them have been weathered and buried in yellow sand.

"It looks like an ancient fortress, these things...... Is it used to defend against the Blue Dragon? ”

Caesar fluttered his dragon wings and landed slowly, staring at the wall more than twenty meters high, and on the inside of the wall stood towers and crossbow terminals, but they were also withered and reduced to the point of being only ornaments.

"Caesar."

Luna peeked out of the thorns behind him and whispered, "There's magic flowing in this place, it's faint, but it's there, you have to be careful." ”

"This city has been abandoned for at least a thousand years, and there will be a flow of magic?"

Caesar turned his head and asked the fairy of the forest, "Are you sure?" ”

The little guy closed his eyes, opened them again, and nodded very seriously: "Hmm-"

At this time, Hogg also arrived with his clan of gnolls, who could run like direwolves, much faster than orcs with armor on their backs.

"It seems that I am not mistaken, Your Majesty."

Hogg stopped behind Caesar, carrying the short axe in his hand: "This is a dead city, it has no name and no name, it is all ruined, only the wind and the undead walk through the market. ”

Hogg was deeply suspicious of the map from the Stone Crow Clan.

"Oh, undead."

Luna said in a trembling voice, "It looks like there will be evil spirits at night, Caesar, can we avoid this place." ”

The little guy has become a lot less courageous, and it seems that he was frightened by the green dragon before.

"Poof."

Caesar scoffed at this, smiled and asked, "You weren't afraid when you spied on me, but you were still afraid of the undead?" ”

As the most dark and evil dragon species, most black dragons will spontaneously awaken some necromancy, and some extreme black dragons will even take the initiative to learn this kind of magic, and like to manipulate the dead and spend their lives with the undead.

More than half of Eladia's dragon lichs are made of black dragons, which are in a sense much more terrifying than ordinary undead creatures.

Caesar shook off the dust that had only been standing for a short time before gradually climbing up his body, and walked through the tall arches of the ruins of the ancient city along the silent main path, followed by Gal and the orcs of the Crow Clan, followed by the rest of the gnolls.

In his opinion, the city had been abandoned for more than a thousand years, and its walls were full of ruins, and the narrow alleys were clogged with rocks and sand, and the buildings were toppling against each other.

The square is windswept and sandy, and weeds grow among the road stones.

However, Caesar was not an archaeologist and was not interested in studying the history of the city, so he had his family camp in the ruins of a long-ruined palace and sent people to search for the ruins.

Although the dark curtain obscured the land, both orcs and gnolls had dark vision, which was difficult for them, so the orcs took the lead and left, and the dirty and lazy gnolls, although reluctant, scattered under Hogg's orders.

It didn't take long for a jackal with black spots on his head to run back, drooling in his fangs, and holding a bunch of figs in his arms, although the fruit was small and a little wilted, but the jackals greedily snatched each other, pushed and bit each other, stuffed the fruit into their mouths, and chewed contentedly.

Later, the rest of the seekers reported that some orcs had found orchards in the secret gardens of the lord's quarter, and although most of them were dead, they found a living vine with green grapes hanging from it.

Orkash found a well, the water was cold and clean, and Gal was attacked by an unintelligent skeleton, only to be pinched and exploded by the orc, who found a large number of untreated white bones in the corners of the ruins, white and broken.

Hogg found the statue.

The sculpture that stands for thousands of years has not collapsed to this day, and it is magnificent and spectacular.

It was a huge humanoid carved purely from granite, taller and bigger than Caesar, the humanoid was bare-chested, except for the strong shoulder armor on its right arm, the horn insignia on its belt, the long-handled battle axe in its right hand, and the battle flag in its left hand.

His ears were as thin and narrow as those of an elf, his four jaw fangs protruding from his mouth, a scar on his eye, and the hair on the back of his head was tied up, and the rest was messy and hung down on his face.

"Ancient orcs."

Caesar narrowed his eyes and whispered judgment.

This statue is supposed to be an orc hero of the epic era, when the male had vigorous hair and narrow ears, and now the orc ears have degenerated to the size of a human, and the male is ......

Caesar glanced at the dependents of his Stone Crow clan, almost all of them bald.

It's impossible for humans to allow orc sculptures to be erected in their own city, so this is an orc fortress?

A product of the Orc Empire's time?

Tsk, that's a long time coming...... The black dragon couldn't help but smack his lips.

Luna flew to his head and widened her eyes, "Caesar, the magic here is stronger than anywhere else. ”
